'The idea is to bypass the usual

band said in a statement.

The project marks her first since her directorial debut Bombay Beach won Best Documentary at last year's Tribeca Film Festival.

Inspiration: Har'el has not yet commented on the provenance of the film, in which LeBeouf opens smelling a butterfly

But the guttural response evoked from
the director and other filmmakers involved in the experiment, including
Inga Birgisdóttir and Ragnar Kjartansson, is undeniable.

Speaking about the evolution of the

no idea what the directors are going to come back with.'

The next film from the series is scheduled to premiere on the band's website on July 2.
